Not sure if these should be posted together or as separate threads, but here
goes anyway. I've today encountered 3 issues with LilyPond, one of which I
think is a bug and the other 2 are features that I'd like advice on.
1. If you have the following line in the source file:
"#(set-global-staff-size 0)"
LilyPond gets into a loop of writing:
"programming error: Improbable offset for stencil: NaN staff space
Setting to zero."
to the logfile. After 30 seconds I kill the process and the logfile is
almost a meg. Clearly I shouldn't set a staff size to zero, but I think
LilyPond should detect this, issue a warning, and exit. Could one of the
developers check whether this is a bug?
2. I'm trying to engrave a song which uses numerals as its sole lyrics. It
appears that LilyPond won't accept numerals in lyrics at all. Is this true,
and can anyone point me at a workaround, please?
3. The original music I'm re-typesetting uses beamed quavers in the vocal
line. If I try to replicate this, then the beamed set of quavers will only
accommodate one lyric syllable, rather than the 2 or 4 in the original. Is
there a way of changing this behaviour so that each beamed quaver
accommodates a syllable, and it's only slurs that make more than one note
per syllable?
Thanks in advance.
